[QUOTE]Originally posted by .Charlie Bass.: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [qb] ~As I told you the ancient southern boundary of Egypt was 200km north than it is today. So the whole of ancient Egypt was outside of the tropics. This is why the ancient Egyptians distinguished their skin colour to the Nubians: "The countries of Syria and Nubia, the land of Egypt, Thou settest every man in his place, Thou suppliest their necessities:Everyone has his food, and his time of life is reckoned. Their tongues are separate in speech, And their natures as well;[b]Their skins are distinguished[/b], As thou distinguishest the foreign peoples." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Hymn_to_the_Aten The average Nubians was dark brown ('black'), while the Egyptian a light (Lower/Middle Egyptian) to medium (Upper Egyptian) brown shade: "Ancient Egyptians, like their modern descendants, varied in complexion from a light Mediterranean type, to a light brown in Middle Egypt, to a darker brown in southern Egypt." ([URL=http://www.michaelsheiser.com/PaleoBabble/Snowden%20Misconceptions.pdf]Snowden, 1997[/URL]) Afrocentristcs ignore this variation and cline, and want to categorize light and medium brown pigmentation with dark brown as "black" to fit their modern pan-African politics, where all Africans are "blacks". [/qb][/QUOTE]The area is outside of the tropics, but the PEOPLE had linear bodies just like those in the tropics. [/QB][/QUOTE]
